Kruse, Michael. "This Land Is Our Land| A Public Lands Oral History." Thesis, Prescott College, 2017. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10247764.
Full textThere are over 650 million acres of federal public lands in the United States that allow access to nature. Public lands are utilized for a variety of different activities, ranging from preservation to resource extraction. Regardless of proximity, public lands belong to everyone in the United Sates. From January to August 2016, I opportunistically and purposively collected sixteen interviews in Arizona, a state with 38.5% federal public lands, and sixteen in Texas (1.5% federal public lands), to document attitudes, opinions, and ideas about public lands in the United States. Conducting such interviews provides insight into the many different perspectives that people from different areas and backgrounds have about public land, and also acts as a medium for outreach and education. Although the data collected is not representative, it exemplifies different opinions that exist in regards to public land. Opinions such as these can affect management policy and inform how people advocate for public lands now and in the future. I attempted to capture candid responses from the interviewees utilizing an open-ended interview guide to elicit the interviewee’s emotions, reactions, attitudes, and opinions towards public lands. All interviewees appreciated access to nature through public lands regardless of their experience with or knowledge about them. Most interviewees were familiar with national parks, but not all knew about national forests, national wildlife refuges, wilderness areas, or the national system of public lands. Several themes emerged, including issues of access, extractive industries such as grazing and mining, and discussions of federal versus state management.

Full textI think about the space between places. I search for ways to record the invisible, ephemeral act of movement. Through the use of complex and simply technologies I collect habitual movements that I carry out over the course of months and years. These banal movements of the commute are logged through the use of Global Positioning Systems, through intuitive drawings, video, sound, text, and performance. I gather this data and think about how to repurpose them from their original intent to create a new psychogeographic map. These maps are temporal, site-specific works created over days that reinterpret my real, intuitive, and memory traces to create the fiction of place.

Full textSkateboarding is a very popular sport in our country, practiced with a skateboard, preferably on a flat surface, anywhere you can roll such as stairs, streets, parks or skate parks, doing some trick, jump or just gliding through the streets. Currently skate parks are the preferred places for lovers of this sport, which began to appear in Peru due to the support that municipalities have been providing for these new athletes. The reasons that lead to the practice of this sport are: keeping a good physical shape, spending time with friends and relax. They also use the skateboard as a means of transportation. This is a sport in which clothing and accessories play a very important role that is why there is an entire industry that deals with selling various types of products and promoting their skater look such as skateshops, which are growing thanks to the increasing popularity of skateboarding. The initial purpose of this project was to seek and understand the needs and shortcomings that exist in this sport. It is observed how the image of the skateboarder is being valued and accepted as a potential group for the development of an entire industry aimed at them and start up the development and elaboration of a functional product, that provides a practical and innovative solution for skaters, achieving a well-valued that exceeds the expectations of this consumer profile and that can meet their needs. In order to comply with our value proposition, Xtreme Land has designed a protector made of leather which allows longer life of the shoes, one of the most critical accessories between the skater and the board which they deteriorate due to contact with the sandpaper of the skate and the requirement of its use when performing the tricks. Also our product will have a functional design, efficient and easy to use.

Full textLandminor är ett stort problem både under och efter krigstid. De metoder som används för att detektera minor har inte ändrats mycket sedan 1940-talet. Forskning med mål att utvärdera olika elektro-optiska sensorer och metoder som skulle kunna användas för att skapa mer effektiv min-detektion genomförs på FOI. Försök som har gjorts med data från bland annat laser-radar och IR-sensorer har gett intressanta resultat.
I det här examensarbetet utvärderades olika fenomen och egenskaper i laser-radar- och IR-data. De testade egenskaperna var intensitet, IR, ytlikhet och höjd.
En metod som segmenterar intressanta objekt och bakgrundsdata utformades och implementerades. Metoden använde sig av expectation-maximization-skattning och ett minimum message length-kriterium. Ett scatter separability-kriterium användes för att bestämma kvalitén på de olika egenskaperna och på den resulterande segmenteringen.
Data insamlad under en mätkampanj av FOI användes för att testa metoden. Resultatet visade bland annat att ytlikhetsmåttet gav en bra segmentering för stora objekt med släta ytor, men var sämre för små objekt med skrovliga ytor. Vid jämförelse med en manuellt skapad mål-mask visade det sig att metoden klarade av att välja ut egenskaper som i många fall gav en godkänd segmentering.
Land mines are a huge problem in conflict time and after. Methods used to detect mines have not changed much since the 1940's. Research aiming to evaluate output from different electro-optical sensors and develop methods for more efficient mine detection is performed at FOI. Early experiments with laser radar sensors show promising results, as do analysis of data from infrared sensors.
In this thesis, an evaluation is made of features found in laser radar- and in infrared -sensor data. The tested features are intensity, infrared, a surfaceness feature extracted from the laser radar data and height above an estimated ground plane.
A method for segmenting interesting objects from background data using theexpectation-maximization algorithm and a minimum message length criterion is designed and implemented. A scatter separability criterion is utilized to determine the quality of the features and the resulting segmentation.
The method is tested on real data from a field trial performed by FOI. The results show that the surfaceness feature supports the segmentation of larger object with smooth surfaces but gives no contribution to small object with irregular surfaces. The method produces a decent result of selecting contributing features for different neighbourhoods of a scene. A comparison with a manually created target mask of the neighbourhood and the segmented components show that in most cases a high percentage separation of mine data and background data is possible.

Full textEnvironmental awareness is term commonly used in media to describe the level of awareness an individual has on how their behaviour and attitude affects the environment. The term is most often used to describe people, companies or organisations but sometimes even countries. Sweden is one of these countries that is often portrayed as being one of the leading countries when it comes to the general level of environmental awareness amongst the population. Is there however a universal level of environmental awareness or can it differ depending on geographical location in the country? This study has examined differences in environmental awareness between people living in rural and urban areas in Kristianstad and Sölvesborg municipalities. Methods used to produce a conclusion were surveys and semi-structured interviews. The study found a notable difference in environmental awareness in people living inrural areas compared to those living in urban areas. The results were analysedand explained in accordance with theories such as Maslow's theory of needs and Ajzen's theory of planned behaviour. Factors such as lack of information and level of education played a role in deciding one's environmental awareness, but the key factors were economic incitements and availability of environmental friendly alternatives.

Full textThis study aimed to contribute towards understanding how the dynamics of class formation and differentiation impact on and are in turn impacted upon by land restitution processes. It was conducted against the backdrop of both land reform and restitution programmes of the democratic government being viewed by communities, scholars, commentators, civil society and opposition parties as generally a failure.The objectives of the study were twofold: firstly to develop a view of the class structure before and after land restitution in Dysselsdorp and, secondly, to consider the different ways in which classes were differentiated, combined and reconstituted to different effect in relation to the three restitution models.
